Add a section "Text Tracks" to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-mime-sniff-03 that says:

This section defines the *rules for sniffing text tracks specifically*.

   If the first octets match one of the signatures in Section 6 for one
   of the following media types, then let the sniffed-type be the
   corresponding media type and abort these steps:

   o  text/vtt

   Otherwise, let the sniffed-type be the official-type and abort these
   steps.

Of course, also update section 6 with the WebVTT magic.

In effect, this will allow browser that only support WebVTT to ignore
Content-Type since anything that begins with "WEBVTT" works and anything that
doesn't will fire an error event (technically for two different reasons, but
the API doesn't make that distinction.)
